Scientific philosophers examine the nature and significance of levels of organization, a core structural principle in the biological sciences.

This volume examines the idea of levels of organization as a distinct object of investigation, considering its merits as a core organizational principle for the scientific image of the natural world. It approaches levels of organization–roughly, the idea that the natural world is segregated into part-whole relationships of increasing spatiotemporal scale and complexity–in terms of its roles in scientific reasoning as a dynamic, open-ended idea capable of performing multiple overlapping functions in distinct empirical settings.
